I didn't mean for you to take
I didn't mean for you to take offense at me saying it was old news. Others were making comments that were thinking this was something the police were hiding or denying, and that they were going to pay off people to keep quiet about it. I was just trying to point out to those people that the police already acknowledged that the MBTA officer may have been shot by friendly fire over a week ago and that it wasn't something they were trying to cover up.

Alex Day and Matt Williams are two of the most recent to spend time with Moseley before making their first pair of appearances in LV= Cup wins over Gloucester and London Irish, but in the past the likes of Tom Stephenson, Tom Collins, Ryan Glynn and Ethan Waller have also spent time learning in the lower leagues.
"The best way for players to learn is to play and the Championship is a tough league," he told SaintsTV. "The boys are learning their trade there and it's positive for the first team.
"It was a focus of Jim Mallinder's about four years ago to really push the Academy and with Dusty Hare coming in, he's had a big effect. We've got the boys playing as much as possible with the Academy programme and also the relationship we have with Moseley.
"Obviously Alex Woolford has featured for us as since moving to Moseley but we've also had a lot of players there as well - the two scrum-halves who have played over the past couple of weeks have both spent a lot of time with them.
Dickens, who spent the previous few seasons working with the youngsters before stepping up to first team duties says the coaches are also happy to have so many options around the field heading into this weekend's Aviva Premiership tie with Newcastle.
"We've shown that we've got strength in depth and the boys that have played put in a great performance last week against Gloucester as well. A good example is someone like Tom Collins who came into the first team for the Premiership a few weeks back and has performed well.
"It's going to be good to have those selection headaches."
The team won't be named until 12noon on Friday, but tickets are already available as the England boys return to provide competition for the XV that started at the Madejski. Lend them your support and get tickets online by CLICKING HERE.

Featured Survivor Grace Wyatt
Grace was riding her bicycle with a friend in 2012 and lost control, flew over the handlebars and landed on her head. Grace was not wearing a helmet, her heart stopped beating and she was life flighted to a Columbus, Ohio hospital. There was very little hope for her survival.
Surviving bleeding and swelling on the brain, a four day coma and her left side paralyzed, Grace recovered and moved into a rehab center. Once home, she took up painting. Grace's right hand had been broken so she, being right-handed, began painting with her left hand.
Since the accident, she has returned to college getting straight A's. She recently exhibited her post-injury artwork in Soho, NYC.
Grace continues to struggle with the unseen consequences of her TBI but relies on her faith and her determination to not be a victim of circumstances to get her through each trial.

"Engineering is the Engine that Will Power Africa's Growth"
Op-Ed, The Daily Nation
By Calestous Juma, Professor of the Practice of International Development; Director, Science, Technology, and Globalization Project; Principal Investigator, Agricultural Innovation in Africa
"...[A]ll major infrastructure projects should include specific engineering education objectives as part of performance. Expansion of telecoms infrastructure should include support for new electronics engineering schools. Examples of such efforts include the role of telecoms ministries in creation of new technology universities in Egypt, Ghana and Kenya."

"Calestous Juma on Being Pro-Africa, Why Africa Needs GM Crops, and How He Came to Be a Cheerleader"
Op-Ed, The Huffington Post
By April Zhu and Calestous Juma, Professor of the Practice of International Development; Director, Science, Technology, and Globalization Project; Principal Investigator, Agricultural Innovation in Africa
"In 2012 alone, six African countries elected engineers for presidents; in fact, Africa currently boasts the highest number of presidents with technical backgrounds in the world. Independent African think-tanks like the African Centre for Technology Studies that Juma planted in 1988 the first of its kind are generating African perspectives on science, technology, and development. Although the cacophony of global debate surrounding Africa often drowns out the voices of Africans themselves, Juma knows that African leaders and youth can be immunized from outside opinions and interests if they can just be empowered to form their own. As their cheerleader, that is his goal."

"Why China Should Observe the Nuclear Security Summit Pledge"
Op-Ed, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists
By Hui Zhang, Senior Research Associate, Project on Managing the Atom
The most significant achievement to emerge from the 2014 Nuclear Security Summit was a pledge by 35 countries to observe the terms of a joint agreement, known as Strengthening Nuclear Security Implementation. Promoted strongly by the chairs of all three nuclear summitsthe United States, South Korea, and the Netherlands the 2014 initiative is an important step towards creating a robust global security system designed to prevent nuclear materials from falling into the hands of terrorists. Yet China, along with Russia, India, and Pakistan, did not join the pledge. Beijing has not offered any explanations. China not only can join the new initiative, it should join itbecause joining is in Chinas own national interest.

The Globalization of Clean Energy Technology: Lessons from China
By Kelly Sims Gallagher, Member of the Board
The development and deployment of cleaner energy technologies have become globalized phenomena. Yet despite the fact that energy-related goods account for more than ten percent of international trade, policy makers, academics, and the business community perceive barriers to the global diffusion of these emerging technologies. Experts point to problems including intellectual property concerns, trade barriers, and developing countries' limited access to technology and funding. In this book, Kelly Gallagher uses analysis and case studies from China's solar photovoltaic, gas turbine, advanced battery, and coal gasification industries to examine both barriers and incentives in clean energy technology transfer.

By Kavita Surana, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Science, Technology, and Public Policy Program, Ananth Chikkatur, Former Associate, Energy Technology Innovation Policy research group and Ambuj D. Sagar, Associate, Science, Technology, and Public Policy Program
Energy technology innovation is the key to driving the technological changes that are necessary to meet the challenge of mitigating energy-related greenhouse gas emissions to avoid 'dangerous climate change.' Success in innovation requires the enhancement of public investment in the innovation process, the creation of markets for low-carbon technologies through stronger climate policies, and a continued focus on energy access and equity.

'Big Hero 6′: Can the Disney Legacy Make This Marvel Superhero Story Stand Out?
'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' mesmerized audiences in 1937. It was the first feature length animated film, realized with illustrative imagination and popping Technicolor. As the New York Times review describes, there was nothing quite like it. "Delightful, gay, and altogether captivating," Frank S. Nugent wrote after the film's premiere at New York City's Radio City Music Hall. He was seduced, smitten. "Thank you very much, Mr. Disney, and come again soon."
77 years later, Walt Disney Animation Studios is still in the toon business, with competition on every front. There are the competing animation studios — Dreamworks, Blue Sky, Illumination Entertainment — and studios' live-action slates too, CG spectacles that veer more and more towards straight animation with each passing year. Disney Animation isn't flinching, nor are they living in a bubble. For its 54th feature, Chief Creative Officer and Pixar founder John Lasseter will court competition from today's most ferocious trend: the comic book movie. 'Big Hero 6,' based on a Marvel book by Steven T. Seagle and Duncan Rouleau, follows Hiro (Ryan Potter), a 14-year-old boy genius who bounces back after the death of his brother by befriending inflatable health care robot Baymax ('30 Rock"s Scott Adsit) and turning him into an armored crime fighter. Not exactly, 'Frozen.'
There was a post-"princess movie" moment where Disney chased the "boy demographic." It didnt' work out so well; Films like 'Atlantis' and 'Treasure Planet' came and went. Under the current Disney brand, 'Big Hero 6′ isn't as aggressively alternative — not with Marvel as an in-house entity — but but the competition raises questions of what the Mouse House can bring to the table. 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2′ was basically a cartoon. The five-character team of 'Guardians of the Galaxy' had two fully CG characters. The Transformers moves are basically the pixel equivalent of a Stan Brakhage film. And now there's 'Big Hero 6,' a fully animated feature competing with live-action bombast. How will it stand out from the crowd?
The Walt Disney legacy, and the idiosyncratic creative process that comes with it.
The legacy part shouldn't be a problem. There's a rush of spirit upon entering the Walt Disney Animation offices. The studio is a utopia. Not just on the surface, which looks like a cross between 'Logan's Run,' Willy Wonka's factory, and the Google offices in 'The Internship,' but in its mechanics, too. Everyone's courteous, everyone's passionate, everyone's a workhorse, everyone loves everyone. It's like walking into a giant hug.
Disney's "Nine Old Men" were the key animators who came on board in the '30s to nurture Walt's style and define what made a Disney movie a Disney movie. They animated, they directed, they talked story, they were co-workers transformed into family. Since, Walt Disney Animation's expanded to hundreds of employees, though the "Nine Old Men" mentality remains integral to the process of building a movie like 'Big Hero 6.' Under the guidance of Lasseter, directors Don Hall ('Winnie the Pooh') and Chris Williams ('Bolt'), and producer Roy Conli ('Tangled'), Team Disney is the creative equivalent of Voltron. At times they're individuals completing assigned tasks or focusing on passion projects. At others, a series of teams hustling to perfect scenes from the latest tentpole, a artisan Model T assembly line. Or they're one massive unit, a hive mind capable of rattling off post-screening notes, artistic secrets, or spiritual guidance.
Other studios foster writers programs and story-smashing collectives, but there's nothing quite as invigoratingly strange as the workflow at Disney. On one hand, as Hall, Williams, and Conli insist, it's a director's studio. 'Big Hero 6′ came about after Hall went searching for potential Marvel comic book material to adapt. He settled on the obscure title because he liked the name. What he could stretch into a Disney-ified story didn't hurt either: A story of friendship for a tech-driven age, colorful designs and costumed characters, inherent action filmmaking – a full package.
When work began on developing, scripting, storyboarding, and chiseling 'Big Hero 6′ out of a piece of granite, it took a town. Hall admits he's not the Hayao Miyazaki type, laboring in a dark room, painting frames until his vision is 100 percent clear and ready to execute. Conception starts with the "Story Trust," directors, heads of story, and other Disney Animation main players who collectively solidify the amorphous pitch. Robert Baird is the credited screenwriter of 'Big Hero 6,' but his job is both that of a creator and translator. The Story Trust will lay down the tracks and he'll take a pass. Concept artists and character designers will reflect those ideas, then Baird will revise. Animators step in, stand-in dialogue is recorded — Baird takes a pass. Rough assembly cuts of the film are screened for studio employees, years prior to the film's eventual release, to see what works and what doesn't. Knives are out. Baird takes a pass.
Paul Briggs is the 'Big Hero 6′ Head of Story. He works with Baird and the other departments to keep the ever-changing script in check and ensuring that the written elements translate into the right visuals. He insists the Story Trust method, brought over by Lasseter from Pixar, allows for more discovery than the simpler sit-down-write-a-script-and-shoot-it tradition. "I think it allows you to constantly be challenging yourself to do better. When someone else is looking at it and asking, 'Is that the way it should be?' We're not all holding arms and skipping through the fields. There's a lot of passion and a lot of arguing. I visualize it as constantly ripping at the thing."
Williams swears Story Trust meetings can roll storm clouds across the peachy Disney offices, but at the end of the day, Disney team members are conditioned to kill their darlings and embrace change. The core idea of 'Big Hero 6,' a boy and his robot, acted as a keystone to the script. Around it, major changes toyed with in test screenings contextualized the adventure in new ways. At different points during production, Hiro was involved with a backstreet bot fighting ring; The re-characterization of Wasabi, Hiro's crime fighting ally, from zen master to someone who acknowledges the dangers of superheroism, altered the motives of his colleagues; And it was only after the first few passes at the script and conversations with Carnegie Mellon robotics gurus that Baymax transformed into an inflatable "health care" robot.
The balloonish Baymax design looks nothing like the original Marvel comic book illustrations. Hall and Williams don't mind. 'Big Hero 6′ is not a Marvel movie beholden to mythology — an advantage, it seems, when a team of animators scavenge the spectrum of human movement for something to help characters stand out. For Zach Parrish, Head of Animation, and his cartooning cohorts, Baymax is like a pony on Christmas. He's tangible without adhering to the rigid physics of people. Though current 3D CG animation may reach for photorealism, Parrish says Disney Animation's goal is believability. Hiro and the other human characters are more caricature than mirror images. Baymax is on a whole other level, Buster Keaton in a sumo wrestling suit. To understand Baymax is to understand the world of 'Big Hero 6′ (an futuristic hybrid city called "San Fransokyo"), modern technology, and Asimovian speculation.
"You have to unlearn everything," Parrish says. "You still have to worry about his weight. He can't stand on one foot without counterbalancing his weight. You have to ground him in the physical world, but you don't have to anticipate. Anticipation is one of the animation principles. That's where, if you're going to jump, you have to squash and stretch. He doesn't have to do that. He can start walking. He doesn't have to rock his weight back and get that momentum because he's all driven by the mechanics within. A lot of the times, it was 'Take that out.' He can stop. That's something we don't do with a human character. No one ever completely stops. There's always something to keep them alive. With Baymax, if he doesn't need to move, don't do it."
2D animation is quickly becoming a craft of the past. The last traditionally animated American feature film was one of Hall's: 2011′s 'Winnie the Pooh.' Though CEO Bob Iger revealed that Disney doesn't have plans to resuscitate 2D in feature form anytime soon, tits veterans won't fade along with it. Underneath every dimensionalized character in 'Big Hero 6′ is a 2D animated skeleton, that Walt Disney legacy alive and well. Mark Henn, who animated Ariel in 'The Little Mermaid,' Belle in 'Beauty and the Beast,' and Jasmine in 'Aladdin,' works closely with Parrish's team, pushing the young animators to rely on frame-by-frame decision-making over a computer filling in the blanks. In front of a crowd of journalists, Henn took a scene from 'Big Hero' and performed a digitized draw over, sketching out nuanced movement. An inverted elbow here, a lower brow there, and Hiro's mild-mannered entrance turns into a character beat.
But the action in 'Big Hero 6′ demands CG techniques, says Conli. "I think peril in 3D is more easily achievable than in 2D. It's psychological. Comedy, really easy. Tragedy or emotional, very easy. Peril — this is a personal feeling — I feel CG, because of its dimensionality, seduces an audience member into something deeper." Is there any chance of a 2D animated feature down the road? Conli says absolutely, if a director comes along with a great pitch. "The fact that Don was interested in this. It'll be interesting to see where Don comes on to the next project. Don may want to do something in Southeast Asia," Conli suggests, an idea that seems too specific to be random.
There's obvious sea change at the studio: Over the years, the visual effects squad has grown to accommodate the more complicate cinematic scenarios that can't be accomplished by animation. Water, fire, magic-like superpowers, and 'Big Hero 6"s major effect, villain Yokai's army of swirling microbots. The division's rooted in algorithms and simulations, but even they tip their hat to Mr. Disney in the way they conduct business. For Parrish and the VFX tech geeks alike, observation is key. For the microbots, which defy gravity and assimilate into any arrangement the Yokai can whip up, the team studied the cooperative behavior of ants.
The observation extends to their own history: For shots of water, the team still admires the handcrafted work in 'Pinocchio'. Ensuring that every Disney animator can soak up the company's sprawling filmography, each studio workstation is outfitted with DPIX, a custom streaming service that can pull up any Disney movie, any scene, with a few clicks of a mouse. The future is now, and it's all about the past.
The utopian face of Disney offers little opening for true understanding of what happens behind closed doors. The general vibe shared by everyone involved with 'Big Hero 6′ is the same as that 1937 New York Times review: "Delightful, gay, and altogether captivating!" Footage from the finished film suggests maybe they're not just drinking Kool-Aid. In a pivotal moment, Hiro and Baymax, now decked out with jet pack armor, take to the skies of San Fransokyo in a scene Baird dubs "First Flight." It's majestic, the duo soaring through the sky like 'How to Train Your Dragon"s Toothless or Donner's Superman, backdropped by a sunset and the alternate universe's version of the Golden Gate Bridge. It's just an adrenaline rush. A few scenes before, Hiro's brother was killed. Driven to cure any ailments, mend any wounds, Baymax realizes that taking Hiro for a ride will "save" him. It does.
I ask the directors why, in this day and age, 'Big Hero 6′ wasn't just a live-action movie supplemented by special effects. It goes back to ol' Walt and a skill set honed over 90 years. "We're good at caricaturing and paring things down to their essence. Strip things away and find things that are subtly observed. A tiny acting choice can mean a lot in animation in a way that live-action can't."

On September 3, it was announced that Korean cable channel tvN"s reality-travel show "Grandpas Over Flowers" will be remade into an U.S version on channel NBC via U.S. distributor Small World IFT.
The NBC version of "Grandpas Over Flowers" titled "Better Late than Never" is scheduled to be broadcasted during the first half of next year.
"Grandpas Over Flowers" first aired on tvN last year with an interesting format in which five actors in their 70s will go on a backpack tour around the world with the help of a younger actor. The show was receiving hot reaction from Korean viewers and it is expecting to also be successful in the US.
"Better Late Than Never" will be produced by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, the Oscar-winning producers of "Chicago" (2002) and many other hit series like "Bucket List" (2007), "Smash" (2013) and "Happyland" (2014). ...

In the original k-drama Lee Min Ho, Kim Bum, Kim Hyun Joong and Kim Joon played four well-to-do attractive students at an exclusive school. In the variety show, "Grandpas Over Flowers," four veteran 70-something actors went on a backpacking tour of Europe accompanied by a young porter.

Australia PM: We learned lessons from Zygier affair

(photo credit:REUTERS)
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard said Thursday that Australia has learned some lessons from the "Prisoner X" affair, the Australian Associated Press (AAP) reported.Her comments came in response to the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade's (DFAT) report, which suggested that the ministry was informed at least three times of Israel's arrest of Australian-Israeli citizen Ben Zygier, who committed suicide in Israeli prison in 2010.Then foreign affairs minister Stephen Smith, however, says he has no recollection of ever being briefed, and on Thursday his office maintained that there was nothing to suggest the minister was ever personally informed of the affair, according to the report.Click here for full coverage of this story"I think we've learned some lessons," The Sydney Morning Herald quoted Gillard as saying, in her first response to the DFAT report. Meanwhile, former Australian prime minister Kevin Rudd and the federal opposition were demanding more information, according to AAP.Rudd was prime minister during the time of the arrest of Australian-Israeli citizen Ben Zygier in January 2010, and foreign minister when he committed suicide in Israeli custody 11 months later."Why was this individual incarcerated by the Israeli authorities? That is important, we still do not know," The Sydney Morning Herlad quoted Rudd as saying in Melbourne on Thursday. "Was there any connection between this case and that concerning the illegal use of Australian passports by Israeli intelligence services? I don't know the answer to either of those questions. I wait to find out."

Black was already the world's biggest little kid, and he might be the only actor who could have made this movie such nimble fun.
It's all sweet and very, very silly. I was surprised by the subtleties - both comedic and thematic.
You may be imagining this is an animated film, and that Jack Black is voicing Lemuel Gulliver. Not at all. This is live action, and despite the 3-D, it's sorta old-fashioned, not that that's a bad thing.
For a novel written nearly 300 years ago by a dour Irish cleric with a mad-on about the material world and a satiric mindset dark enough to flirt with misanthropy, it's amazing how well Gulliver's Travels travels. Even Jack Black can't ruin the thing, although not for lack of trying.
The cast is enjoyable, with Jason Segel (as Gulliver's lil' pal, Horatio) and Emily Blunt (the local princess) a witty cut above for this sort of thing.
For myself, I was but seldom inspired to peals of true laughter, though I did relish that part when Mr. Black, confronting a fire raging in the Palace of Lilliput, douses the blaze through heroic use of such means as Nature has provided him.
The cast gamely tries to keep up, with the scene-stealing O'Dowd making the strongest impression. Still, it all feels so lazy and familiar that adults may find themselves hoping Black will start to challenge himself again - and the more swiftly the better.
Oone of those movies that falls between complete disaster and loads of fun. Mild amusement is probably about right.
Black, looking like an unwashed clothes pile and capering in familiar "Uncle Jack" style, is a good babysitter, his cross-dressing turn in a doll's house a highlight.
Jack Black is the title character in this thin adaptation of the Jonathan Swift classic.
Yet another foray into unnecessary 3-D, is a rehashed mishmash of Jonathan Swift's 18th-century classic. Mostly, it's a vehicle for Jack Black's zany humor.
Dec 24, 2010Strips the source material down to its recognizable parts and then builds something completely new out of them. Unfortunately, the result is entirely Lilliputian in ambition, even for a children's movie.
Dec 24, 2010It might have worked, too, if Black had anything remotely funny to work with.
While not the worst in recent 3D films, Gulliver's Travels is more gimmicky than a crackling good yarn.
A movie that ought to entice people to want to travel with Gulliver instead inveigles them to run from him.
The really annoying thing about Jack Black's Gulliver's Travels is not so much that it's a bad movie -- it is bad, but only run-of-the-mill bad, not epic-misfire bad -- but that the movie sullies a piece of literature that has endured for nearly 300 years for the sake of a cheap kiddie flick that'll be forgotten in a month.
Loosely - very loosely - based on the classic Jonathan Swift story, "Gulliver's Travels" begins promisingly but quickly loses its way.
The only arena in which Gulliver's Travels plays an adequate game is in visual effects.
At one point, Black puts out a fire by pissing on it. It's my job as a critic to piss on this dumb excuse for a movie. Consider it done.
A migraine inducement that you'd think Jack Black had gotten out of his system years ago. Yet he still finds an excuse to wear a blazer and shorts and fling his bodily orb like Angus Young on Guitar Hero night at the neighborhood bar.
Those of us who dig the comedian's hyperactive persona may feel that the meter is now officially running on his amiable rocker-doofus act; everyone else will simply marvel that a Christmas season could produce such an unfunny, unentertaining lump of coal.
With deadening predictability, the filmmakers have reduced a definitive satire about the flaws and foibles of human nature into family-friendly sub-Disney pabulum about an affable slacker who finally musters up the courage to ask a pretty girl at work for a date.
The 3-D is cheesy (2.2-D at best) the gags are gross (Gulliver urinates on an 18th-century palace to extinguish a fire) and the production abandons all hope of coherence when the hero fights a climactic battle with a giant robot out of "Transformers."
A movie of such stupendous uninspiration that, watching it, I didn't know whether to be affronted or hornswoggled. Movies this monumentally dreadful, after all, don't come along every day.

Dec 28, 2010I took my eleven year-old daughter to see Gulliver's Travels. She found it so unfunny that she wanted to leave at the halfway stage. I told her to say, as I hoped that it would get better....but it did not. If anything, it got even worse, and I had to apologise for making her sit through the whole thing.
The whole thing is a disaster. Jack Black is excruciatingly unfunny and boorish, throughout the entire film. Major British talents, Billy Connolly and Catherine Tate, are awarded zero funny lines by the script writers. They at least managed to look professional, which is quite an achievement in this car crash of a movie. The female romantic lead, of whom we see very little, also manages a half-decent performance. But those really are the only positives that I can find. A complete waste of a morning and £14.… Full Review »

Dynamic Relay and Region Selection for PB/MC-CDMA Distributed Cooperative Communication System
Free registration required
Executive Summary
In this paper, the authors propose a new distributed cooperative communication scheme based on Partial Block MCCDMA (PB/MC-CDMA) system to achieve optimal performance. As known, the performance of distributed cooperative communication has a relationship with the selection of relay node and relay region. Considering these two factors, a time interval is added and the relay region is defined by simulation. During the time interval, relay node is chosen according to the rule of maximum frequency diversity, different region using different transmission and the performance restricted of relay nodes are all assurances of good performance.

Keene police take delivery of controversial armored vehicle
The Keene Police Department now has a LENCO BearCat Special Missions armored vehicle like this one. (COURTESY)
KEENE - After a controversial vote to accept Homeland Security funds last spring for the purchase of the town's SWAT vehicle, the Keene police department placed its BearCat into service Tuesday.
The department took delivery of its Special Mission Rescue Vehicle from Lenco Industries on Nov. 16, however the lone piece of equipment that did not come standard on it, a piece radio, had to be installed. According to a press release, after the radio's installation, the vehicle was delivered.
The Keene City Council voted to accept a $285,933 Homeland Security grant in December - without a public hearing - to buy the armored vehicle. Some claimed it was a waste of public tax dollars while others said it was not needed in a small town such as Keene.
After a public outcry, the Council held a vote at its March 1 meeting in City Hall. There, councilors voted 9-4 in favor of accepting the grant, defeating councilor Terry Clark's motion to rescind the grant.
"It's an armored vehicle, not an armed vehicle and there's a big difference," Keene Police Capt. Brian Costa said in describing the BearCat last spring.
The vehicle's manufacturer, Lenco, provided initial training, which will be ongoing.
The BearCat was purchased through Department of Homeland Security and the New Hampshire Department of Safety.
"We hope that if a situation arises I'd be glad to have it," Costa said Tuesday. "The hope is always that they don't arise. That why we have police departments for when they do."
Costa said the vehicle will be introduced to the public in the near future.

The HTC One Max has been posing for the camera a lot lately so why not a shot with it's main competition? We now have a couple of images of the One Max along with the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Note II.
There really isn't much to get out of the images other than the One Max is bigger. It should be since it sports a 5.9-inch display, while the Note 3 and the Note II feature 5.7-inches and 5.5-inches respectively.
The One Max should be unveiled next month, but will it have the Snapdragon 800 or the Snapdragon S4 Pro? One more pic after the break.

FORT WASHINGTON, Pa. (AP) - Johnson & Johnson said Thursday it
will probably not have supplies for some 40 varieties of
medications recalled earlier this year until at least 2011, after
closing a key manufacturing site.
In late April, J&J's McNeil unit recalled a variety of
children's and adult over-the-counter medicines due to numerous
manufacturing problems at its Fort Washington plant.
The company says in a statement it has not decided when to
resume operations at the plant, which was shut down in May.
Products made at the plant generated about $650 million in
annual sales in recent years. J&J, based in New Brunswick, N.J.,
reported total sales of $61.9 billion last year.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS4Scaling Summary: DDR3 Memory On Core 2, Core i7, And Phenom II
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
Video editing using Adobe's latest Premiere Pro CS4 suite benefits from faster memory on the two Intel systems, but not on AMD's Phenom II X4. The 6.9% performance increase on the Core i7 system is substantial. Pulling in 6.4% more performance on a fast Core 2 Quad isn't too shabby, either.
